Cattle Loans
We Want Cattle Loans
We make an effort to handle ail cattle loans fo that
our customers can hold ilk stockers until the time
comes to sell at the best advantage when the mar*
ket is just right. Now is the time to BUY. The
man who is lucky enough to now have grass and
roughness can make ni^rc money on stockers by
buying now than at any time in the past two
years. It you have the roughness and the grass and
the nerve, we will supply the money.
We have paid for probably a thousand head of
stockers during the past thirty davs, bought by our
customers.
Do your business with a Strong Bank like the
Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Hennes-
sey, which can and does help its customers make
money. We have the money to loan and can supply
all legitimate calls for money.
We appreciate your business whether it is large
or small, whether as a depositor or borrower, or
visitor.

The Hennessey schools will remain
closed according to announcement of
the board, until Monday, •lanuarv < th.
The reopening was postponed at the
suggestion of the county physician,
Dr. Overstreet yesterday. It is belicv
ed by that time the epidemic of influ-
enza will have run its course.
The action is a "safety first" pre
caution that should have the approval
of local school patrons.

PROPOSED MONUMENT FOR
SOLDIERS OF THE GREAT WAR
Will Reccomend Legislation Permit-
ting the Voting of Money for the
Purpose by Counties of State
At a meeting of the Kingfisher
County Council of Defense held on the
26th day of November, 11)IS, a resolu-
tion was unanimously passed asking
the Oklahoma State Council of I>• •
tense to reccotnmend to the state leg-
islature a law permitting the Board
of County Commissioners to submit to
the voters of their respective counties
the (jiiestion of furnishing a sum of
money to build a monument to the
soldiers of the great war.
The Council of Defense believes that
this would bP an equitable way Jo
distribute the small cost of the mon-
ument for the boys of this war, and
as a fitting and in st tribute of re
'pod to those who lost their lives and
those who gave their services to their
•onntry in time of need.
The Kingfisher County Council >f
Defense would like to hear from ay
citizen of the county as to the best
method of bringing about the building
t a monument, and each suggestion
will be carefully considered.

OIL DOPE OF INTEREST
Waukomis Hornet: Charity Schlot
owning the well out east of town are
to have a meeting of all those inter
ested some time this week and come
to some kind of an understanding .as
to what they are goisg to do. It has
been nearly two years since tliev
stopped work out there ami some of
the folks are growing a little iinpa
tient at the delay. We confess to a
little impatience ourselves. The sus
pen so is irritating.
The new test going down on 11-20.
southwest of Douglas, is reported at
• >00 feet today. The drillers are mak-
ing hole rapidly. This test will prove
one of the interesting ones of south-
ern Garfield county.
The string of tools recent Iv shipped
to Dover for use at the Staiifill test,
have been hauled out to the location.
According to the dope, drillling will
probably be resumed there again at
an early date. The formation is con-
sidered very promising.
The Marwell oil test on 22-20-5,
in southern part of Garfield county,'
is reported down l,92o feet and grow-
ing more interesting as the hole goes
deeper. There is apparently a demand
for only close-in acreage and between
i the Marwell and what is said to be
j the National Union test to the north-
east.
Strike Gas Near Watonga
The A. B. White Oil Co. test at W i |
tonga, encountered gas at 2,4.1.1 feet
according to announcement from Wa-
tonga. It is estimated at 3,000,000 1
feet. It looks like the opening of a
new field.
